WILKESBARRE. P*. Oct. B.—Nation
al President Mitchell, of the miners
, union and the three anthracite district
> presidents returned to this city from Bus
• falo. N. Y.. early this morning.
The chief of the miners had nothing to
say regarding yesterday's trip and also
declined to discuss President Roose
velt's proposition for ending the strike.
■ He will not even indicate when he wilt
give his answer to the president, but It
is not probable he will do so until after
he has received tM reports of all the
local unions which will meet today in
accordance with his Instructions and take
action on the -question of whether their
member* desire to remain on strike.
Voting on Vital Issue.
Several of the locals met yesterday and
last night. Ail of them voted to stay out
and it is predicted that when the com
plete returns are in it will be found that
. the rote to continue the strike will be
nearly unanimous.
Under instructions from Mr. Mitchell
the result of tire meetings which are
called for 2 o'clock this afternoon must
be telegraphed to headquarters^after the
adjournment of the gatherings.
When Mr. Mitchel! was asked today if
he thought any men would return to
work after the entire national guard of
the Mate had been placed on duty in the
coal belt he said:
"The beet answer to that question will
be the action of the local unions today."
A Babbathllke stillness reigned through
out the Wyoming valley this morning,
‘neither the sneriff nor the soldiers re
ceiving a single call for assistance. It is
not definitely known how the troops of
the Third brigade which has been as
signed to this territory will be distribu
ted.
At 11 o'clock this morning. President
I Mitehell made the following statement tO
The Associated Press:
Unanimous to Stay Out.
* to this hour, at least thirty tele
graphic reports have been received from
local unions giving the action taken* by
them last night and this morning. These
reports are substantially as follows:
“ ‘The mine workers resolved not to re
turn to work until the demands as formu
lated at the Shamokin convention are
granted, or until the strike is called off
by a convention of the mine workers or
President Mitchell, and if ail the troops
in the United States were brought here
they would not force the men back to
work.'
'The reports are still coming in rapidly,
and among them there is not one dis
senting voice. The vote in all the locals
so far beard from was unanimous
"There are more than 300 locals and all
will have been heard from by tonight.
"Bocae of the unions have been cotnoell
eo to meet last night or early this morn
ing so as not to Interfere with school

meeting places of the organisations."
Miners Are Unanimous.

HOOTS. JEERS AND HISSES
HURLED AT COAL CREW
HARRISBURG. Pa.. Oct. B.—The first
outbreak of disorder since the marches
and arrest of two weeks ago. occurred
at Williams last night, when an attempt
was made to move 32 cars of coal from
the Likins Coal company. The coal has
been mined during the last week and bad
been run through the breaker Friday by
anen who refused to join the strike.
When the Summit Branch Railroad
•ompany attempted to move the loaded
ears, the coupling pins were drawn and
the engine had to back to the cars again.
This occurred five times and there were
some stones thrown at the cars. Finally
the trainmen got the cars coupled and
started off with the train amid the hoots
and jeers of the men and boys.
When the cars were taken through Wi
eon|pco. there was a demonstration and
ithe train crew was jeered. Soon after
the train passed a mob marched about
the town and threw stones at the houses
of men who bad been working. No dam
age was done and the men ran away
before they could be detected by the sher
iff's deputies.
ENTIRE FIRST BRIGADE
WILL PITCH CAMP TODAY
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 8.-The entire
First brigade, under command of Brigade
General Schall, will be in camp in the an
' thradte coal region before sunset today.
The First city troop, the last of the com
mand to get under way. left here shortly
after 9 o'clock this morning for the Pan
ther Creek valley.
The First regiment will camp at llaxle
ton. Luzerne county, and the Second will
be quartered at New Philadelphia. Schuyl
kill county. The Third regiment will be
quartered at Minersville, Schuylkill coun
ty, while the Sixth regiment and First
City troop will be scattered through the
Panther Creek valley in Schuylkill and
Carbon counties. The first brigade num
bers nearly 3.000 men.
TWO FULL REGIMENTS
TO CAMP AT TAMAQUA
TAMAQUA, Pa.. Oct. «.-Tbe Second
regiment of Philadelphia. State National
guard, arrived here this morning, and en
camped. and the Sixth regiment from
Chester and vicinity will arrive this after
noon. There is difference of opinion as to
the effect that presence of an Increased
number of soldiers will bave on the strike
Mtuatlcn. but if the mine workers voice
their real sentiment, the effect will be to
strengthen the ranks of the strikers.
Throughout the Panther creek region
the* operators take an opposite view. No
threats are made against the guardsmen
and little trouble is anticipated. Business
i sat a standstill and while a majority of
the Citizens would like to see the miners
win their long drawn out fight, wan the
struggle ended.
Reports from this region indicate that
the operators made a slight gain in their
working force today, but there was no
demonstration.
It is claimed that more coal wits dumped

NO CHANGE HAS COME
IN STRIKE SITUATION
WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—There have
been no further developments here in the
coal situation. The president has received
no response to his suggestion submitted
Monday evening to President Mitchell, of
the coal miners' union, and no new prop
ositions have come from the operators nor
are there any in prospect so far as the
administration is aware.
With the proposition now offered by
Governor Stone, it is assumed that the
operators will try to make good their as
sertions that they will supply the country
with coal.
If President Mitchell refuses to enter
mtn the latest proposition of his reserve,
it is expected that the departments in the
coal region must solve the problem.
If President Roosevelt has any plan no
intimation of it has been made.
NATION’S CHIEF MAKES
APPEAL TO MITCHELL
WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.—President
Roosevelt has requested Mr. Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Workers, to
use his influence to induce the men to go
to work with the promise of the appoint
ment of a commission to investigate their
grievances and a further promise that
the president wPI urge upon congress leg
islation in accordance with a recommen
dation of that commission.
No reply has been received from Mr.
Mitchell. »♦' r
The president sent Carroll D. Wright,
commissioner of labor, to Philadelphia to
meet Mr. Mitchell, and Mr. Wright has
reported that after the proposition of
the president hac. been submitted Mr.
Mitchell said that he wanted to take it
under consideration. « Y
The miners' unions are today voting up
on the question ot whether they shall con
tinue the strike, but this ts upon the prop
osition of the coal operators and not.upon
the proposition of the president, it is un
derstood that the miners will take up the
suggestion of the president and decide on
it after it has been presented to them by
Mr. Mitchell.
Commissioner of Immigration Sargent
returned from Philadelphia today, but had
no information to communicate, as he did
not see Mr. MltcheU in that city.
The following statement was made pub
lic at the white house this afternoon:
"On Monday. October 6th. Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, commissioner of labor, went to
Philadelphia and gave to Mr. John Mitch
em the following from the president:
" 'lf Mr. Mitchell will secure the imme
diate return to work of the miners in the
anthracite regions the president will at
once appoint a commission to investigate
thoroughly into all the matters at issue
between the operators and miners, and
will do all within his power to obtain a
settlement of these questions in accord
ance with the report of the commission.’
“Mr. Mitchell has taken this matter un
der consideration, but the president has
not yet been advised of any decision.”
•Die president was in consultation to
day for almost two hours with members
of the cabinet relative to the coal strike
situation. The situation was talked over
with Dr. Albert Shaw and Dr. Lyman
Abbott. About 11:30 o’clock F. Pl Sar
gent, commissioner of immigration, and
for many years chief of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen, arrived at the
white house from Philadelphia, where he
went as the emissary of the president to
convey to President Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers, the proposition of
President Roosevelt that the miners re
sume work. Mr. Sargent had not suc
ceeded in seeing Mr. Mitchell.
The president, however, had heard from
Commissioner of Labor Wright, who saw
Mr. Mitchell on the same errand last
night tn Philadelphia, and the latter’s
report was that Mr. Mitchell desired time
to consider the proposition and lay it
before his associates. After a conference
of an hour between the president, attorney
general. Postmaster General Payne, Mr
Sargent and Gen. James 8. Clarkson, it
was decided to give out the above state
ment.

WAR HEROES
REVIEWED
LONG LINE OF VETERANS OF
THE UNION ARMY MARCH
THROUGH STREETS OF NA
TIONAL CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 6,-The men who
fought for the union in the great conflict
that raged from 1861 to 1865 are the guests
of. the capital of the nation today.
They came, thousands strong, to partici
pate In the 36th encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The opening cere
monies which occurred today were greeted
by bright skies, a beautifully decorated
city’ and hospitable people. The visitors
already are counted by the tens of thou
sands, and trains are arriving hourly with
their loads of human freight to be added
‘to the throng. A noticeable feature is the
presence of a great many young folks
among the out-of-town people.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.—The bright sun
shine which ushered In the opening of
the G. A. R. encampment yesterday was
succeeded today by cloudy weather. But
the Change had no effect on the spirits
of the vast crowd, which early swarmed
Into the banner-decked streets and hur
ried to Pennsylvania avenue to take their
place for the Mg naval parade, which was
to be the chief event of the morning.
It was estimated that over 100,(00 vis
itors were in the line. The parade was
under the command of General Heywood,
commandant of the marine corps, as mar
shal of j the day, and consisted of all the
regular troops located in and about Wash
ington. marines and Jackies from the war
ships. the District of Columbia national
guard, the Spanish war veterans. Sons
of Veterans, high school cadets and the
Association of Ex-Prisonerx of. War, act
ing as escorts for the naval veterans.
Among the naval veterans’ associations
which participated were Admiral Porter
Association. Louisville, Ky.; Maryland
Naval Association, St. Louis: Admiral
Dupont Naval Association, Fort Worth,
Texas.
The parade was reviewed from the
stand in front of the white house by Ad
miral Dewey and Commander-ln-Chlef
Torrence. With them were Secretaries
Moody and Root, Admiral Taylor and
most of the members of the diplomatic
corps now In the city. Admiral Dewey
was In full uniform and was accompanied
by two aides. The procession occupied
about an hour and a quarter In passing
the reviewing stand. Each different di
vision received liberal cheers, the veterans
being given especial attention.
Even while the parade was In progress
the. reunion of some of the army corps
were taking place in the tented city on
the white house lot.
WASHINGTON, Oct. B.—The remnants
of the magnificent armies of Grant. Sher
man. Thomas, Slocum and Sheridan,
which participated in the grand review
at the close of the civil war, again passed
up the historic Pennsylvania avenue to
day.
The survivors of the bronzed. black
haired legtons who marched twenty-four
abreast for two days before President
Johnson, with flowers in the muzzles of
their guns and with the hope of the fu
ture shining in their faces, have become
old white haired men with their active
service behind them.
The ten years that have elapsed since
the review of the G. A. R. in 1892 have
sadly decimated the ranks of the he
roes. Most of the prominent figures In
the parade on that memorable occasion,
including General Ben J. Butler. who
rode in a carriage, being even then too
feeble to walk; former President Hayes,
who marched on foot with his old com
rades; General former Gover
nor Powell, the loyal governor of the
Green Mountain State, and Uncle Jerry
Rusk, who strode along at the head of
the Iron Brigade of Wisconsin, have gone
to their last bivouac.
But those who still remained trudged
valiantly today to the sound of drum and
fife. Proudly aloft they held their tat
tered battle flags and the vast multi
tude through which they passed, seeing
in the thinned ranks visions of the bat
tlefields of Vicksburg, Shiloh, Gettys
burg, Chattanooga and Atlanta and camp
fires stretching from the Potomac to the
everglades of Florida, greeted them with
cheers that fairly drowned the blare ot
the bands.
It was an ideal autuqm day and a vast
multitude of people gathered early along
the route of the parade crowding every
point of vantage.
Roosevelt Reviews Line.
President Roosevelt reviewed the parade
in his carriage.
He was carried down stairs from his
room on the second floor of the temporary
white house in an invalid’s chair at 1
o’clock amid the cheers of a large crowd
and was placed in the carriage in which
there was a board to support his injured
leg. He was accompanied by Secretary
Cortelyou and Colonel Bingham, his mili
tary aid. His carriage was guarded by a
platoon of mounted police under com
mand of Major Sylvester, superintendent
of police.
As the carriage appeared on the avenue
the president was greeted with loud
cheers The president stopped at the re
viewing stand for a moment, until the
marshals of the parade and Rawlins Post
of Minneapolis, the right of the line, had
passed, and then drove down the avenue
to the Peace Monument at the foot of the
capitol.
The veterans faced the carriage as the
president drove by and saluted him.
There was continuous cheering from the
crowds as the president drove along. The
procession moved in the order prescribed
by Chief Marshal General A. Noel Blake
man. General Ell Torrance, commander
in-chief. occupied a carriage. He was pre
ceded by his personal escort.
The different orflantzations of the G. A.
R was led bv the Department of Illinois,
Commander H. M. Trimble in charge.
The departments in line were:
North Carolina-J-Commander C. D. Graw.
Maryland—Commander John W. Worth.

Oklahoma—Commander Wesley Taylor,
stand immeoiately in front of the white
hopse by Commander-in-Chief Torrance,
who was . ssisted by the members of the
president’s cabinet and by Adjutant Gen
eral Towler, of the G. A. R. Occupying
seats well to the front were many veter
ans of the civil war, including General
O O. Howard, General Edward McCook,
General Daniel Sickles. General Carring
ton, General J. Warren eKifer and Ed
gar Allen.
Sitting In the midst of these distinguish
ed ex-union soldiers was the ex-Confed
erate Lieutenant General Longstreet. He
was escorted to the front together wltn
General Sickles and the two appeared
side bv side. They were cheered heartily.
It was said to be the first time than an
ex-Confederate officer appeared on the

TROOPS ARE ORDERED OUT
Continued From Page One.
and telephone wires were numerous to
day. It was reported that the street rail
way company, as a measure of protec
tion, would make a move in the United
States courts today. President Pearson
says that If a receiver is appointed the
property of the company (♦ill be wrecked.
The weather continues fine and cont
A committee of the union called on Pres
ident Pearson just before noon and dis
cussed with him the setting of a time
at which the railway company and the
former employes might negotiate for a
settlement of the strike. Lawyer Maloney,
representing the men, after the confer
ence said that from now on the union
would deal direct with the company In
trying to bring about a settlement. There
would be no more negotiations through in
termediaries.
STRIKERS STOP CARS
WITH ROCKS AND GUNS
NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 7.—Violence
started with the first attempt of the rail
way company to carry out the orders
of the mayor and run Its cars today.
Just before 7 o’clock the company start
ed out three cars from the barn on Canal
street. On each car, manned by a non
union motorman, there was a large force
of policemen. Large ’ crowds of strikers
and sympathisers were on the streets.
When the cars reached Miro street the
tracks were blockaded, and when they
came to a stop's Huge mob attacked
them.
Wires and ropes were cut and the cars
were boarded. ~ j ”
A pistol shot was fired and the non
union motormen attacked.
One of them was badly cut. •
The police seemed unable to cope with
the situation.
When the rioting spent Itself the three
cars were left standing on the track
guarded by policemen. All the windows
in them were smashed and they were
otherwise damaged-
F. H. Scbwenck.of Chicago, a conduc
tor, was the man who was most badly
beaten. The mob of strikers captured
Schwenck and his motorman, and both
consented to join the union. Some of the
police were hurt by flying stones. The
indications are that the company has im
ported a number of men from other
cities. ,
As boo has newsM>f the rioting reached
the city hall the rriayor issued a call'for
a meeting of the-.police board; It is un
derstood that the r Object is to swear in
emergency policemen and to make it
plain to the regular force that the board
expects every man to do his full duty.
♦ High officers of the militia are in the
city and ‘ preparing themselves, in the
evefit of a call for troops. Governor
Heard will only order out the militia
when he Is notified by Mayor Capde
vielle that the situation has gotten be
yond the control of the municipal au
thorities.
Judge King signed the order transfer
ring the case to the federal court.
At union headquarters it was announced
that the headquarters will be open to re
ceive any offers of negotiation looking to
a settlement of the trouble.
J. H. Eidson, of St. Louis, said to be
connected with a detective agency in that
city, was on one of the cars during the
rioting. Eidson very pluckily climbed on
top and adjusted the trolley pole when it
was first pulled down. The mob made a
rush for him when he descended, but the
police managed to protect him and he was
taken to the Central station in a patrol
wagon, hooted and jeered at by a multi
tude.
Eidson said he had been employed by
the company and had brought 20 men
with him from St. Louis. He said he de
sired to return to the Canal barn and re
peat the attempt to take out cars.
The railway management claims that
the police department is not furnishing
adequate protection, and says until such
protection is afforded it cannot be ex
pected to risk its property and the lives
of its new employes.
President Pearson this afternoon ad
dressed a letter to Mayor Capdevielle in
closing a report of Manager Wood, of the
company, to the effect that the inability to
operate the cars of the company was due
to the Inadequacy of the police force to
cope with the overwhelming crowds on
Canal street.
Mr. Pearson made a demand for addi
tional protection. He said that the com
pany would have to decline to risk its
property and the lives of its employes un
less the demand was acceded to.
As soon as he had received the letter,
the mayor Issued an appeal for 1,000 citi
zens to act as emergency policemen. If he
is unable to enlist this force, there will
doubtless be an immediate appeal to Gov
ernor Heard to order out the First bri
gade.
The trial of President Commons apd
other officers of the union for obstructing
mail cars was held today before Commis
sioner Craig. There was considerable evi
dence to show that cars had been inter
fered with. Without completing the hear
ing the case was adjourned to tomorrow.

cating a remarkable amount of build
ing. As a result all the lumber companies
are overrun with orders and have more
than they can fill. The strike in the
Maine lumber districts has also increased
the business of the southern lumber com
panies. The situation in the lumber busi
ness in the south is most encouraging.”
